Ninth Circuit -- ABDUL ALOCOZY V. USCIS

When government allows alien to avoid deportation for a criminal offense, this does not operate as a waiver barring consideration of the offense in subsequent naturalization proceedings.

Retroactive cancellation of the statutory provision allowing government to waive deportation does not mean that alines who utilized it had a valid expectation that it would bar consideration of the matter during naturalization proceedings.
